Why not try one of these Christian fellowship lodges outside town(nyanya, karu,). There's one along abacha road. They offer bed-spaces(male and female lodges) to NYSC members, or stranded christians. There are 4 bedspaces per room and 2bedspaces per room. The former goes for N100 daily, the latter N200 daily. I hope you're not particular about location(staying in town), cos more than half of the workers in abuja stay in the outskirts of Abuja. There are cheaper accommodations in the outskirts. You can manage staying in a condusive lodge, save the much you can, then get a room or self-con apartment, till everything becomes rosy for you.

You should know the risk of staying with a male, let alone a stranger.

Superlative-comparative...?



And tomorrow, the kids would be blaming JAMB for failing them.

Isn't it funny how the nigerian police always storm pacific places to arrest unarmed people, yet they never stormed sambisa forest to arrest BH terrorists who are heavily armed.

In this modern era, if the police still harass and treat lawmakers like criminals, then I'm afraid we're living in a zoo.

Very wrong sir! The use of indefinite articles: "a" and "an" is informed by a number of reasons.

1. We use "a" for words which begin with consonants like: a car, a bottle, a pen etc

We also use "a" for vowels which sound like consonant E.g. a university, a union, a European etc


2. We use "an" for words which begin with vowels. E.g an aeroplane, an orange, an egg etc

We also use "an" for consonant words which have the vowel sounds, particularly the silent "h" and we have just 3 words that fall into this category. E.g. an honest man, an hour and an honour. Every other "h" is sounded hence we have uses as: a hospital, a house, a hunter etc.

Swtie, u totally misconstrued my post. I said the 'an' article is used for three 'h' words(n), hour, hair, and heir. Since it's hard transcribing words, it's going to be difficult to transcribe 'h' words, in order to get the actual sound, an easier way is going by a rule. Whenever two or more vowel letters go side by side, prefixed by 'H', and suffixed by 'any consonant', the 'an' article is used. Other 'H' words(n), the 'a' article is used.

A honest man(though wrong pronunciation and sound similarity have made so many assume it's 'an honest man').

A house
A horse
A hose
A hill
A horn
A honest man
An hour
An heir,
Etc.

A' is correct. The only 'h' words(n) that proceed 'An' is 'hour', 'hair' and 'heir'. When two or more vowels go side by side, prefixed by 'h' letter, and suffixed by a constant letter, the 'an' article is used. The spoken phrase 'a honest man' actually sounds like 'an honest man', thus quite a lot of people assume the right indefinite article is 'an'. But it's not.

The correct phrase, in my opinion, is 'a honest man

The thread's topic reads.... Gender equality from the lion perspective. But you ended up telling a tale of the lion society on how unequal they are. You contradicted the topic with your tale.

I get ur opinion and I respect it a lot. But u want u to know something, u can't buy it does not mean someone else cannot buy it. 2. Someone did Femi Otedola won't buy such phone? I laff. How many times does he go on a Yatch cruise?

I'm tired of replying u fellas. What is so hard to comprehend in my post? I posted my own opinion, me, myself, and I, about the price of the phone, and discreetly made a point that the functions of the phone, to me, isn't worth making me use 10% of present cash in hand to get the phone, since the functions aren't that unique. Can the phone fly? Can the screen of the phone act as scanner? Other cheaper phones can equally do basic tasks and functions the S-7 can.


The OP said he got his, I said mine. I said the phone is not my priority for now, maybe later when the price drops, I'll get it. I expected the next poster to post his own view or plan, and the next, and the next. But that wasn't so. The subsequent low IQ posters pitched tent on my own plan because they misconstrued everything.

I never quoted the OP, I never highlighted any points on his post, I never said it's a waste of money. The OP may need the phone, thus he bought it at all cost. If the phone was his want, and he got it, it means he got it with a percentage within 1- 99% of cash he has.

Rather than post your personal view or plan about the phone, you had to join the train of dyslogias.


An interview with Mr Rewane, an economist, he said he and Dangote drove in the same car to Eko hotel for a function. When they got to the gate, the attendant charged them N5,000 for parking. He said Dangote was reluctant to cough out N5,000 to pay for the parking space. He told him to give the attendant the money so they can quickly go in since they were running late, but Dangote didn't heed. The richest black man in the world went on to negotiate the fare down to N1,000.

Whomever is staging all these fights in all honesty which I can tell you is most likely happening in the Western world has no care whatsoever about getting animals injured. I don't mean to sound like a Western extreme Left Liberal, but I hate it when I see wild animals being abused.

I love Lions too, I love Tigers as well and I'm not on either ones side. I honestly would not want to see them fight because I love them both equally (not partial to either one). However, humans pit these animals against one another (and even keep them in the same cage from time to time). I sometimes don't often understand the mindset of human beings.

I also hate seeing these lions get injured, maimed, or killed. I'm not much of a tiger fan because I didn't get to watch more documentaries on tigers. But I hate seeing them get killed by poachers. The tiger is pretty much at risk of poaching because of its skin, and because of local beliefs that the bone of a tiger is medicinal.

Those staging the fights are gamble cartels. They stage these fights to make millions of dollar from gambling. In that particular stage fight, the bet was how long the bull wld survive the fight. Bt within a minute, the fight was over. So they had to stage another one that wld be tougher, match-4-match, so they brought in the lion. The lion fought well, it fought for about 5minutes, b4 the bear swiped his head with his dagger-like claws. I felt bad seeing the lion groan in pain.

Well, what can we do? nothing. Some humans choose to abuse the dominion we have over animals.

Fulaman198:
You could be right, but I have heard of instances in which Tigers have overpowered Lions and Lions have overpowered Tigers, that's why I don't believe that it's safe to rush to conclusions on which is stronger.

Whilst it is true that the man may serve has some form of defence mechanism against the tigers claws and teeth, we still can not factor out the 25kg weight differential. From that perspective, that is an extra 25kgs of muscle pounding at the lion.

The typical average Male lion does indeed go through more fights in his entire lifetime than the typical male Tiger. Lions appear to be more fearless than Tigers in most instances as Lions not only ward off other Lions, but Hyenas as well. In India to the Indian China with border (where the Bengal Tiger roams), and in Siberia (where the Siberian tiger roams), Tigers are the Apex predator with little competition. The black bears found in India are of no match to the tiger. So there really is nothing to compare to hyenas that the Tiger must face off against. One could say that Tigers have it kind of easy compared to Lions.

I guess what I'm trying to get at is that while it is very possible that the Lion is the better fighter of the two large cats, it's impossible to come to a formidable conclusion that X(Lion) is greater than Y (Tiger). There has not been enough scientific data to formulate such a claim/observation.

Weight doesn't necessarily determine strength. Bone density and muscle mass do. The tiger is heavier, but not necessarily stronger. The tiger jabs with both paws, standing on his hind legs like a boxer. The lion on the other hand can't stand on both hind legs throwing jabs, cos the hind legs are not as built as that of the tiger. The lion throws a heavy one paw at a time swipe, with increase force.

Here's why the lion wld win. The tiger is used to fighting his kind standing on his hind legs. An average tiger fighting an average lion, the outcome may not favor the tiger becos the lion won't fight it the way the tiger is used to, the jab technique. The lion wld compel the tiger to fight in his own way. The tiger is left to attack the lion head on. He'll trying to severe his neck bone with a bite, but the tufted mane is there to protect the lion's neck. The lion wld shake him off and lunge at him with a heavy swipe.

But then, the reason why I'll stake my bet on the lion is becos of his fearlessness. I saw a stage fight btw a grizzly bear and a wild spanish bull, tthe bear swiped at the bull, breaking his collar bone. The bull died within a minute or so. Then they had to bring in an African male lion. As soon as the lion was brought in, the bear discreetly withdrew, but the lion charged at it, the bear was forced to respond. The fight was tough, but the bear severe the lion's skull with his dagger-like claws. The lion didn't die immediately. It was there groaning in pain, while the bear withdrew.

I saw another fight btw an African lion and a silverback gorilla. The fight was tough, but the lion came out victorious.

Honestly, the lion is strong, ruthless, fearless, brave, and majestic. I love the lion like kilode!

What's hard to comprehend??

PERHAPS that fact YOU went on talking about YOUR financial philosophy, YOUR wants, YOUR ideas about you you, you absolutely sod all to do with the OP or the phone in the TOPIC

perhaps people were here to read/discuss the pros/cons of the phone/VR, alternatives, or other technologies out there ..but hey you've blessed us with your spending pattern

@Disboy, the topic was.... Samsung S7 and S7 Edge price in Nigeria, I(the OP) got mine(his) today. I then posted my personal take and plan, disceetly alluding that the price is quite exorbitant for now.

When has "I" started attracting condemnation?

When has personal views started attracting antagonism and cynicism?

The thread and the topic is not a damn diary. It's an open thread. I speak my view, u speak urs, Capish?

It's a waste of time trying to elucidate my point.


...Where is P-square when u need them to come sing 'personally' to these fellas?!.

...Where is 'Barney' when you need him to come say it in a way these fellas wld understand?!

I have read every line of your comment but you are making a mistake somewhere. Virtually everybody spends their cash somewhere based on been freaks about it or something.

Lemme make it simpler, op could simply be a gadget freak. You could be fun freak. Some other guys reading visiting this thread could be jewels, clothing et al freaks. There are some peeps who prefer to spend that cash on jewels, watches, cloths or even drinks and girls rather than phones.

Regarding the billionaires u r talking about, they spend cash elsewhere too. It cld be drinks, each could even buy an expensive gadget. All in all we should be prudent with our spending .

Alrite, I get u. But next time, try to discern if I spoke against the OP's choice of spending. I only spoke personally. As in, me, what 'me' think I should do with my money. He said his, I said mine. Maybe 'myopiacs' read mine as dissing the OP. But it's not. Those are two parallel, opposite direction spending plans.

All the same, thanx.

Tigers are typically larger than lions albeit not by much. Tigers are longer and slightly heavier whilst lions are slightly taller at the shoulder. The weight difference is about +/- 25kgs typically speaking when comparing a large lion with a large tiger.

In regards to strength and which cat is the better fighter, it boils down to the individual cat and their level of aggression.

One may think that the lion would be the better fighter as male lions spend their entire lives fighting and defending their territory and females.

Tigers are loners. They try to avoid conflict more so than lions. I really think it depends on the individual cat.

Well said!


But on the average, I'll say it's the lion, becos from birth to the end of his life, violence mars his life. If you observe the face of an adult male lion, it's full of scars, and scratches, from constant fight to win a pride, or defend it. A pride male mostly fight 2 or more intruding males wanting to take over. Whereas, a male tiger is disposed to fight one male intruder, since tigers are solitary cats. The lion is trained to fight more, so fighting one wld be much easier for him. The tiger on the other hand won't find two challengers easy.

The aggression of the lion is an edge over the tiger. The lion has a slightly higher testosterone level than the tiger, giving him a deeper roar and intimating tendency, plus the mane makes him seem bigger than the tiger, instilling fear into the tiger. The tiger has a submissive tendency. Most often, in the fight, the tiger lies on his back exposing his four claws to deter the lion who always seem to close in on the tiger, even if the tiger is throwing accurate jabs at him.

Honestly, the lion is a fearless beast.

Can we just move on to another topic or something.?!

Fulaman198:
That's very true. The largest lions are from the Masai Mara and Southern Africa. The West African lions are not as large as their other African lion counterparts, nor are their manes as impressive. I wonder if the Asiatic lion is related to the West African lion.

I wish they can rename the Asiatic lion to something else. It's not as impressive, majestic, and large as the African lion. They are way too small. They are very very very distant related.

I actually spend lots of data watching lion vs tiger fights on youtube. Who do you think is the stronger? Better fighter? And larger?

Tanx senorita. I'l glad someone finally got my point. It's all about percentage. I was speaking personally, but those jimmies misunderstood me. I can't spend more than 10% on a want. 10% of what I have is what I allot to my wants. 50% to my needs. If my cash asset is 2m, 10% is 200,000, so yea, I can spend 200,000 on my wants. But if I'm on my way to buying my wants and my loved ones tell me they are yet to pay their school fees, I'd be an insensitive person if I went on to stil buy my wants.

My needs come equal to my loved ones' needs. Loved ones' needs, come before my wants. My wants come before my loved ones' wants.

say no to poverty and poverty mindset.

Say no to illiteracy.

Poverty is when u can't afford anything. Prudence is when you choose to buy a cheaper thing over an exorbitant thing. Maturity with compassion, is when you choose to use the money to solve another person's problem.

I've said no to poverty way before you were born. I can afford to send you to college.

Yah any pride with 4 or more males is extremely rare, it's definitely not the norm (i mentioned it was extremely rare lolllll). I too have seen 4 males oust 2 males.

Typically speaking, most prides are comprised of 2 males. Sadly, I have not been to the Ibadan zoo yet. I will go one of these days for sure trust me on that one. Have you ever been to the Yankari game reserve? I want to go badly, now is not the time though but I will go within the next few years.

Yankari? Do they stil have animals there? I tot all the animals have emigrated out from yankari becos of boko haram. Just kidding.

But then, the lions in yankari are west african specie. They are smaller compared with the Panthera leo africanus(the ones in tanzania, South Africa, Kenya, Malawi, Botswana, Namibia, Uganda). The lions in ibadan zoo were brought from tanzania.

As rich as Otedola is, I doubt he'd buy the phone.

If that phone can take me to heaven, I'll buy 10 for me and my family.

A whooping N235,000 for a phone? C'mon, I rather pay someone's school fee with it.

All the same, patience is a virtue. In 5yrs to come, this same phone will sell for N50,000. So I think I'm going to wait for it to get cold.

Mehn this is serious, how people spend money on gadget despite the economic hardship. Omo dat guy really turned up, after five yrs he will buy sell dat one for 20k n buy S13 for 500k lol

As in, I won't forget when BB9800 came out, every1 was like, torch torch torch, I must get it at all cost.

5yrs after, the phone is as cheap as a torch-light.

It's funny how regular people spend what billionaires should spend, buying exotic gadgets. Whereas, billionaires spend what regular people should spend, buying simple gadgets.

They are wild males of course. That's not the only occurrence. I have been watching lion documentaries almost my entire life. I have seen some amazing things in regards to lions. They are my favourite animal alongside Tigers.

I've seen 4 male lions oust two male lions from a pride. I just haven't seen 5 or more male lions form coalitions. Maybe I'm yet to watch a documentary on that.

I'm crazy about these creatures. Have u been to ibadan zoo lately? Have u seen the adult male lion there? That beast is big. The first time I saw the beast, it was emotional for me, seeing the creature I love so much in real life.

Fulaman198:
Don't say you can't, because you can:



20 cubs is extremely rare. Also most cubs don't make it past their first few months which is crucial.

Are those pride males in the wild? Or males that grew up together in a sanctuary?
